3 What s New in Version This section lists new hardware and software features supported in AT-S70 Version Software Features No new software features have been added in this release. Hardware Features No new hardware features have been added in this release. Known Issues The system date and time are not the real date and time. They appear to be dependent on the system run time. For example, if the date and time are configured and the system reboots, the date and time reset back to 0, and accumulate with system run time. (2700) Workaround: After resetting the system, the user can input the actual date and time via the system menu. Event Log does not display when the CPM card is reset. When the user reset the CPM/Line Card from the Module Status and Config Menu, the event does not get logged in the Event Log menu. (4082) Workaround: Reset the CPM or line card; then view the Event Log from the Administration Menu. Port A (SFP) of AT-CM70S cannot be disabled. (4415) When an individual fan stops within the AT-CV5000 chassis, an SNMP trap is sent indicating a fan module has been removed instead of indicating a fan failure. In addition, when the fan resumes an SNMP trap is sent indicating a fan module has been installed instead of indicating a fan recovery for this event. (4480) When using the SNMP interface, the same sysoid is returned by both the AT-CV5000 and the AT-CV1200 chassis. (4997) When an AT-CM2K0S line card is in the Missing Link mode and the link for the copper port (RJ-45) goes down, the fiber activity (AT) LED illuminates to a solid green with no traffic present. (5092) If an AT-CM2K0S line card has a single mode SFP (LX) module installed and the fiber cable is plugged in and then unplugged multiple times, the fiber link LED may stay on when the cable is unplugged and the Port A module status may show ON-LINE. (5017, 5073) Workarounds: Any of the following workarounds will resolve this issue: By plugging the fiber cable into the SFP port and unplugging it once more, the fiber link LED will go off. By unplugging the copper cable from the RJ-45 connector, the fiber LED will go off. By performing a hardware reset for the AT-CM2K0S line card, the fiber LED will go off. When using the OAM feature to access a remote module, do not disable the remote port. If you do disable the remote port, no remote recovery is possible via the OAM interface. (5099) Workaround: Re-enable the fiber port at the remote site via the local management software. PN Rev A 3 Allied Telesis, Inc.

4 Operational Notes AT-CV Series line cards support jumbo frames and the AT-CM Series line cards support up to the maximum frame size of 1518 bytes (untagged). For MissingLink feature in the AT-CM202 and AT-CM212 line cards to function properly, after connecting a cable (linked) to any port on the line card, it takes up to 3 seconds for the port s LINK LEDs to turn ON. If you receive a line card where its mode switches do not function or are disabled; that line card may be configured in an Operating Mode other than Line Card Management Mode. Workaround: If you have an AT-CV5M01 Control Processor Module (CPM) card installed in your system, you need to reconfigure the Operating Mode of the line card to Line Card Management Mode via the management interface. If you do not have an AT-CV5M01 CPM card in your system, contact Allied Telesis technical support at The following parameters are fixed on the AT-CV1xx Series modules and cannot be changed through the management interface: Auto-Negotiation Port Enable/Disable on the copper port. The following parameters can be changed on the AT-CV1xx Series modules through the management interface: Link Test MissingLink TM Smart MissingLink Line Card Management Mode If your AT-CV5000 chassis has an AT-CV5M01 CPM card with ten or more line modules, you should wait up to 10 minutes after applying power to the chassis before you proceed with configuring and managing each of the modules. This allows time for the initial detection of the modules and for the correct status to be displayed for each module in the management software. If you do not have an AT-CV5M01 CPM card installed, then this note does not apply. If you are adding more modules to an operational AT-CV5000 chassis or hot-swapping modules, it is recommended to install each additional module one at a time and wait until the module status is properly displayed in the management software before adding the next module. Prior to installing the AT-CM70S module into an AT-CV1200 chassis, the UART configuration setting must be set to the UART Local Console Mode. (The UART Local Console Module is the factory default setting of the module.) If the AT-CM70S module is reconfigured via the AT- S70 management software in the AT-CV5000 chassis to the UART Backplane Mode and is then transferred to an AT-CV1200 chassis, it will not function properly. (5015) Workaround: Before transferring an AT-CM70S module from an AT-CV5000 chassis to an AT-CV1200 chassis, reconfigure the UART configuration setting to the UART Local Console Mode. Refer to the AT-S70 Converteon Management Software User s Guide for assistance. PN Rev A 4 Allied Telesis, Inc.

6 Resolved Issues History This section lists the history of the AT-S70 Management Software s resolved issues. Version The following issues were resolved in AT-S70 Version Maximum packet size supported by AT-CM Series line cards. In AT-S70 V1.4.0, the maximum packet size supported by AT-CM Series line cards is 1518 (untagged) and 1522 (tagged). (4513) AT-CM2K0S intermittent issues related to ML/SML. The AT-CM2K0S may have intermittent issues after the fiber or copper cable is unplugged and plugged back in while in the OAM mode. Also, the AT-CM2K0S may have intermittent issues after the Operating Mode configuration has been reconfigured. This issue is most prevalent when the Operating Mode is changed to either MissingLink (ML) or Smart MissingLink (SML) (4462, 4586). Version The following issues were resolved in AT-S70 Version CONVERTEON AT-CV5000 Chassis Shows Wrong FAN Info. If the fan module is not present, the Fan Status in the Diagnostics Menu is displayed as Failed. (2759) Workaround: Reset the system time and date after a system reboot. OAM Mode Changes Not Taking Effect When Changed. Changes to OAM mode (Active/ Passive) do not take effect when changed. Workaround: Toggle the Administration state to disable, then re-enable. (3318) AT-CM2xx Series Line Cards May Experience Packet Loss. The AT-CM2xx Series line cards may experience a packet loss when used in a managed environment with AT-CV5M01 CPM card and the AT-CV5000 chassis. (4219) Workaround: AT-CM2xx Series line cards have no issues in an unmanaged environment. Version The following issues were resolved in AT-S70 Version Line Cards Take Several Retries to Transfer New Software. When downloading AT-S73 software to individual line cards, kilobyte accumulation may pause, and an 'Ack not received' message may be displayed. This indicates an interruption in the transmission from the CPM to the line cards. The system will automatically re-establish transmission and continue updating the line card software (3124). Switching Port Configuration From Auto to Full/Half-Duplex Does Not Take on First Attempt. When switching a line card port configuration from Auto-Negotiate to full or half-duplex, the software cursor may not move and highlight the selected option. When this occurs, the duplex setting (full or half) needs to be selected and confirmed (by pressing the Enter key) one more time. Proper cursor placement and selection highlighting confirm the configuration update (3183). MissingLink Feature Behaves Incorrectly During Initial Power-Up State. During the initial power-up state, if the fiber port is connected before the copper port, it will cause the MissingLink feature to behave incorrectly later on. (3257) Workaround: For the MissingLink feature to function correctly, perform one of the following methods: PN Rev A 6 Allied Telesis, Inc.

7 * Make sure the copper and fiber ports are not connected (not linked) during the initial line card power-up. * Connect the copper port before the fiber port during the initial line card power-up. Module Status/Configuration Display Text Changes When Line Card Experiences Interruption. The module status/configuration display text may change when the line card is experiencing an interrupt (e.g. line card insertion, line card removal, port up, port down, etc ). (3258) Periodic 0x1858 Packets Seen from AT-CM Series Line Cards. Periodic 0x1858 packets related to in-band management may be seen from the copper ports of the AT-CM Series line cards. (3315) Version The following issues were resolved in AT-S70 Version OAM Configuration Menu Displays Erroneous Menu Selections. When a port is configured in OAM Enabled/Active mode and the link status changes to either Link or No Link, the OAM Configuration menu can display erroneous menu selections when the user scrolls up or down on the menu. Fan Tray 2 Alerts Not Displayed. If system temperature exceeds the configured temperature threshold, temperature alert message for fan trays will be sent to Activity Monitor, EventLog, SysLog, and SNMP trap. A 'recovered' message for fan tray 2 or fan trays 2 and 1 may be sent without true temperature recovery (3080). Line Card Front LED Not Reflecting the Software Configured Operating Mode. The front mounted ML LED indicator on AT-CM202 and AT-CM212 line cards do not illuminate when a line card is configured for MissingLink operating mode. The LED will illuminate when a line card is not configured for MissingLink (3090). Operator Level User Perform 'Manager Level' Operations. (3165) Operator level user does not have access to view or configure the following system submenus: 'Omega Options' & 'Terminal Configuration' and LC 'Port Configurations' & 'Configure Operating Mode'. Operator level user can configure speed and duplex setting on CPM Ethernet port and start/stop system logging. Pinging Remote System From Telnet Not Displaying Ping Results. When using the 'Ping remote host' feature from a Telnet session, the individual ping results do not display in the Telnet window, and are outputted to the console port (3175). Can Not Enable/Disable Line Card Ports. The 'enable/disable port' feature for individual line card ports is not available in current release. Ports operate as enabled (3176). After Power Cycle, Line Card Configurations Become Distinguishable; No Cursor or Highlighted Options. Default configuration settings for line card ports, including speed and duplex, are not initially highlighted in the system software. Once they are configured by the user, the settings will remain highlighted (3177) MissingLink on AT-CM202 and AT-CM212 Line Card Not Operating According to MissingLink Standard. When a line card is configured for Missing Link operating mode, the link LED on port A may not shut off when the link on port B is dropped. Port A link on the far end line card will be dropped and its LED will turn off (3182). PN Rev A 7 Allied Telesis, Inc.

8 Port Link and Fan Failure/Recover Event Messaging Not Sent. The following events do not trigger messaging alerts via Activity Monitor, EventLog, SysLog, and SNMP traps: port link online/offline, fan x of 2 failure/recover on fan tray x (3188). Version The following issues were resolved in AT-S70 Version Software/Firmware Revision Identification-Enhancement. Diagnostic Menu does not display Software and Firmware Revision Identification. This issue has been resolved (2923) After Image Download, Software Reports the Line Card Status as ON Before the Card s LED Turns On. After image download, software reports the line cards status as Online before the card s LED turns on. The line card is not functionally ready until the LEDs illuminate. This issue can be cleared by power-cycle. This issue has been resolved (2938). Operator Level User Can Enable/Disable DHCP. A user at Operator level can enable/ disable DHCP. This should be a Manager level function. This issue has been resolved (2968). DIP Lock Menu Not Operational. The DIP Lock menu is not operational in this firmware release.
